Application filed October 22, 1907. Serial No. 898,606.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL sA-LOMAN, a resident of the city of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented new and useful 5 Improvements in Shaving-Brushes, of which the following is a specification. This invention is an improvement in shaving brushes and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will lo'be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the brush. Fig.2 is a side view partly in section of the brush with the different parts thereof detached. Fig. 3 is. a side view partly in section of the brush with the parts connected, and Fig. 4 shows a brush ody whose shank or neck is somewhat different from that-shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an end view of the cu and F1 6 is a detail cross section of the s ank an the body at about line 66 of Fig. 2. I

My brush comprises a handle A, a brush body B, and a clam ing cup C.

The brush body is preferably made of rubber sponge and is provided with a neck or shank at one end to fit and be. clamped within the cup. C. And this shank may be of ordinary soft commercial rubber as shown at B in Fig. 2', or be of sponge rubber as shown at 'B in Fig. 4, the shank 1n both cases being integral with the body of the brush and being slightly reduced.

he clamping cu C may be of s ring metal, is split at C om its outer end orming the opposite sections or jaws C which may be spread sli htly to permit the insertion of the shank F pressed in applying the cu in order to secure the brus as desired.

The cup is threaded internally'and externally, the internal threads operating to bind and secure the shank, 'and the external threads screwing into the threaded socket A in the end of the handle A when the-parts are assembled as shown in Figs. .1 and 3 of the to the handle A body in the cup drawings. It is preferred to split or slot the cup C at C at diametrically. opposite points forming the two opposite jaws or sections C as will be understood from Fig. 2 of the d wing a The clamping cup C is provided at its outer end with a flaring ro ecting flan e C which abuts the end 0 t e handle A o the arts are connected as or B and then be com- 1 jaws C may be spread sli htly to permit the insertion of the neck or s ank of the brush body and then compressed'upon the side of the body as the cup is screwed into the socket of the handle, the cup being normally flared slightly toward its outer end so it will be compressed into cylindrical form when screwed in the socket A of the handle.

In compressing soft rubber within a cup such as shown, it is found that the rubber will press outwardl through the slots and to provide for this I nd it desirable to groove the shank as shown at B and to fit the shank in the cup C with the grooves opposite the slots C, thus avoiding protrusion of any of the rubber through the slots C when the Y neck or shank is fitted into the cup as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

I c aim: I

1. A brush comprising a handle having a threaded socket, a brush body of sponge rubber having an integral neck or shank, and a clamping cup slotted from one end forming o posite clamping jaws or sections and t reade'd internally and externally, the internal threads operating to engage with the shank of the brush body and the external threads to be screwed into the socket of the handle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A brush comprising a handle having a threaded socket at one end, a brush body. having a neck or shank of compressible material, and a slotted clamping cup adapted to .be spread to receive sald neck or shank, and threaded externally whereby it may be screwed into the socket of the handle. 3. A brush comprising a handle havin a threaded socket. a brush body of rubher spongehaving a compressible neck, and a 'cup adapted to receive said neck and threaded internally to screw upon said neck and also threaded externally whereby it may be screwed into the socket of the handle.

4. A brush com rising a handle having a threaded socket, abrush body having a neck or shank of soft rubber grooved longitudinally, a on s lit from its outer end and receiving sai s ank with the grooves thereof opposite the slots in the cup, and a handle having a socket to receive the said cup, substantially as set fort SAMUEL SALOMAN.
